About the Item

A pair of Bauhaus bentwood crocodile chairs by Thonet. Beech and plywood folding café chairs from the 1930s with crocodile skin embossed seat and back panel in great condition. The embossed pattern was created by running the wood through huge cold steel rollers creating a hard-wearing finish that still retains its detail. Made in Poland embossed under the seat. A charming pair of chairs with plenty of patina and character.

  • A Pair of Jää Armchairs - Sustainable Recycled Indoor / Outdoor Suite
    By Jo Wilton and Mirka Grohn
    Located in Leicester, GB
    The Jää Armchairs offer robust seating solutions for spaces such as museums and galleries or real statement pieces for the residential sector. The Finnish word jää has two meanings; ‘ice’ and ‘please stay’ - a perfect word for sustainable pieces of design. Our inspiration for the Jää furniture came initially from the beautiful and practical nature of recycled plastic and its environmentally friendly credentials. Through the design and use of materials, we wanted to show that recycled plastic furniture can be bold, desirable, and aesthetically pleasing. The Jää furniture is made out of 100% recycled post-consumer plastic - pure waste that has been diverted from landfills. The furniture is made in Britain with a mixture of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastic shapes with small custom-made polished aluminium spacers and nuts. Further, the Jää designs are also fully recyclable contributing to the circular economy. The Jää pieces are sculptural, multifunctional, and adaptable designs suitable for both indoors and outdoors in public and private spaces. Handmade to order in the UK. Each chair measures: 73 cm wide x 70 cm high x 80 cm deep. Each piece can be made to any width, please contact us for any bespoke requirements. Also shown in the images Jää Cube and Grey Screen.
